Solution Proposal from Mitutoyo

Increase Quality Assurance Efficiency Through Smart Automation

Traditionally, measurement in manufacturing has meant removing parts from the line and bringing them to the inspection room. But today’s evolving manufacturing environment demands more. Higher quality expectations, labor shortages, and the drive for productivity are accelerating the shift toward in-line and near-line automation.

At Mitutoyo, we help you move confidently into this new era—whether you're just starting or looking to expand your automated systems.

Do Any of These Challenges Sound Familiar?

• There are temperature fluctuations on-site, which can skew measurement accuracy.

• We want to boost production, but measurement time is a bottleneck in the process.

• Unplanned machine failures can cause production line stoppages.
  

Mitutoyo Makes Automation Achievable

Automation isn’t about replacing jobs—it’s about making your team more effective. We help identify ideal starting points:

• Simple, repetitive measurements
• Manual tasks prone to human error
• Areas with bottlenecks in the QA process

Start small by automating with a CNC Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM), then add automated part handling, fixtures, or inline gauging as your needs grow.

Custom Solutions Tailored to Your Environment

Standard products don’t always meet every measurement need. That’s why Mitutoyo Custom Solutions gives you the power to build a system around your specific application—from part handling and fixtures to software and data integration.

With a catalog of over 8,500 products, plus support for non-Mitutoyo technology, our experts design and deliver systems that work seamlessly on your production floor.
